The strength of road safety NGOs is our ability to stop, look and listen. Stop complacency. Look at the unpleasant truth of the global catastrophe on our roads and everyone’s part in preventing it – particularly governments. And, perhaps most importantly, listen: help people to hear the stories and pleas of the victims – and be galvanised to take action, now.

Every 30 seconds someone, somewhere in the world is killed in a road crash. Many more are killed by respiratory diseases from air pollution caused by road traffic. Brake works to stop road deaths and injuries; supports people bereaved or injured in road crashes; and campaigns for sustainable transport.
